Adjustable 45° connectors, DKO
Tube fittings
Adjustable 45° connectors with a sealing cone plus O-ring turn a tube line through 45 degrees, half the angle of an elbow fitting. Sealing takes place on the cone by way of an O-ring rather than metal on metal, a design known as DKO. This category holds 64 items.
The tube port stays adjustable against the connector body, being locked once aimed. On offer are 19 tube sizes from 6 L to 42 L plus 6 S to 38 S, each carrying its nut thread from M12x1,5 up to M52x2, in zinc plated steel or stainless steel 1.4571.
The 45 degree shape is picked where a line has to change direction yet a right angle would cost too much space, or where the tube runs into a sloping route. Typical spots are hydraulic power units, valve blocks, cylinders having closely spaced ports. The soft sealing DKO joint suits circuits opened repeatedly for service.
